This year, Utah had 8 boys break the 16-minute barrier for 5000m. Six of those eight times came from the Garmin RunningLane Championships and the top sophomore finisher from Utah there was Andrew Ludwig of Riverton. Ludwig came close to breaking 15 minutes when he ran 15:10 on the fast Alabama course. Ben Bradshaw and Ben Jaster of American Fork both finished with the fastest two 5000m times fun on Utah soil which were both run at the Utah State XC Championships, Bradshaw in 15:41, Jaster in 15:44.
